3. Bring your completed agreement to the Pillar Point Harbormaster Office located at One Johnson Pier at Pillar Point Harbor in El Granada, with payment (cash, check, credit card).  Agreements and payment will be accepted on a first come, first served basis at the Pillar Point Harbormasters Office.

Once your agreement and payment are accepted, the District will work with the plaque vendor to develop a proof of the plaque inscription for your approval.  Once approved by you and the District, the District will order the plaque and install.  District staff will keep you informed of the installation date.  Bronze plaques will take an average of 3 months to produce and arrive at the harbor (per the vendor).

If you would like to be placed on a waiting list for future bench and plaque opportunities, you can complete the waiting list application below.
